122. Jesus, Thou Glorious Priest and King

L.M.
by I. Watts
1
Jesus, Thou glorious Priest and King!
 
Accept the tribute that we bring;
 
Accept the feeble song of praise
 
Which here on earth Thy people raise.
2
May every minute as it flies
 
Augment our love, increase our joys,
 
Till we are brought to sing Thy name
 
At the glad supper of the Lamb.
3
And soon the months will roll away,
 
And quickly come the nuptial day,
 
When Thou, the Lamb, shalt take Thy throne,
 
And fully there Thy church shalt own.
4
The gladness of that happy day,
 
In this sad world’s our strength and stay;
 
Then let not faith forsake its hold,
 
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12)
